What Is Vaping? Vape is electronic cigarette?

What is Vaping? The actual definition of Vaping is: “To inhale water vapor into the lungs”. My definition: Vaping is the best way for you to finally enjoy smoking electronic cigarettes and put down those analogs! It really works!

Sure, it sounds pretty innocent, doesn’t it? So, exactly what is this “vaping thing all about? Well, Vaping with electronic cigarettes (Ecigs) is a lot more enjoyable than smoking regular analog cigarettes and is totally the best idea that has come along in years! I just can’t believe it took such a long time for someone to come up with the ecigs.

An Ecig, also known as an Electric Cigarette, is a device that usually looks, feels, acts and can even taste like a real cigarette . It provides you with nicotine, the act of smoking and is powered by a rechargeable battery. Ecigs don’t actually burn any tobacco or anything else.

There is no “fire”. It only heats up the nicotine e-liquid, which turns it into water vapor and you then inhale it, just like a cigarette. Believe me, it works!

This is called “Vaping”. The vapor is very similar to smoke, but it’s only water vapor. You get the same feel as if you are actually smoking, , a real throat hit, you still are putting a device in your mouth like a cigarette and you are even blowing smoke (vapor) out of your mouth like a cigarette and you get your “fix”, just like a real one.

What is Electronic Cigarette?

The E-Cig – short for Electronic Cigarette – is a device that is battery powered to produce inhaled doses of nicotine by way of a vaporized solution. It makes use of a rechargeable battery that powers a heating element (coil). The E-Liquid (more on E-Liquid below) comes in contact with the coil and is then vaporized.

Beginner Tip: When someone uses a tobacco cigarette, they are smoking since the cigarette produces smoke. When someone uses an electronic cigarette, they are vaping since the e-cigarette produces vapor.

The advantages of VAPE

No More Bad/Smoker’s Breath No More Offensive Smoke No Ash No Fire / No Flame Cheaper than Cigarettes More Cost Effective/Saves Money No Butts Less Waste Smoking Alternative\Alternative to Smoking Non –intrusive Smoke More Freely Smoke “almost” Anywhere No Social Stigmas Provides an Authentic Smoking Experience

I can promise you that after a week or so of vaping, you will not even enjoy smoking a regular cigarette. They will taste bad and the smoke will actually bother you when you inhale it into your lungs. You will soon be able to smell things, taste things and will be coughing a lot less.

The Electronic Cigarette Parts

An Electronic Cigarette is quite simple is design, but there are multiple parts that can make up or be used with the electronic cigarette. Below is the basic parts that make up a complete electronic cigarette. Some can be replaced with other style parts.

•Tube (or Box): The tube is the housing to the e-cig (electronic cigarette). Some tubes come in a variety of shapes and sizes to accommodate certain battery sizes and internal electronics. The tube part of the device is typically the bottom part of the electronic cigarette. •Battery: The battery comes in many shapes, but the typical battery is similar to an AA battery styling and varies in specific sizes. (See Battery Breakdown) •Power Button (Manual or Automatic): The power button is what activates the battery, which then delivers power to the heating element (atomizer or cartomizer). Some buttons have multiple use functions. The button is considered as a ‘manual’ e-cig. An ‘automatic’ e-cig has no button and is activated by a sensor that detects when you’re pulling vapor from the device. Many e-cigarette users (or vapers) tend to like a manual e-cig more because an automatic e-cig can be triggered to activate at times when not in use, which depletes the battery life. •Connector: The connector is a part that sits at the top of the electronic cigarette and is used to accept the atomizer (or cartomizer). The connector has female (or male) threading. The connector will range in various styles such as 510 (the most common), 801 and 901 just to name a few. •Atomizer (or Cartomizer): The atomizer is a small metal tubed casing that has a male (or female) threading at the bottom to be attached to an electronic cigarette. The top of the atomizer is an opening to allow the use of e-liquid. To fill an atomizer, the user will typically drip 2 to 3 drops onto of the coil (which sits inside and on the bottom of the metal atomizer tubing). The cartomizer is much like the atomizer, except that the metal tubing is a bit longer. Inside the metal tubing of a cartomizer is a filler material. This filler material acts as a wicking system. To fill a cartomizer with e-liquid, the user will pour e-liquid onto the filler material until it has a full or soggy look. A cartomizer is also used inside of tank systems. •Tank System: The tank system is designed to hold more e-liquid than the typical cartomizer. The tank is a tube that is usually made from a plastic material. At the top and bottom of the plastic tube tank is end caps. The end caps usually have rubber gromets as a sealer between the caps and the plastic tubing. In the middle of the caps is a hole cut out to accept the cartomizer. Some tank systems makes use of its own wicking system instead of a cartomizer. •Drip Tip: A drip tip is the mouth piece that will sit on top of the atomizer or cartomizer. The metal tube casing on an atomizer or cartomizer can sometimes become hot to the touch, so a drip tip is used so your lip do not come in contact with the atomizer or cartomizer casing. A drip tip was also designed so that you could easily drip e-liquid into your atomizer without taking off the mouth piece. This is done by pouring your drops of e-liquid into the center hole of the drip tip.

What is E-Liquid of vape?

E-liuid (or E-Juice) is the liquid that is used to vaporize. E-liquid typically contains Vegetable Glycerin, Propylene Glycol, Nicotine and Flavoring. The user can generally custom order e-liquid by requesting a certain VG (Vegetable Glycerin) percentage and PG (Propylene Glycol) percentage. The user can also request a certain nicotine strength(density). Nicotine isn’t required to be in e-liquid in order to vaporize it. The common nicotine strengths are from 0mg to 36mg.

How To Vape?

Using electronic cigarettes and understanding how to vape is pretty simple. Although it requires more action than the traditional tobacco cigarette, it is far less harmful. Once you grasp what it takes to use an electronic cigarette (which consists of a charged battery and a cartomizer/atomizer/tank filled with e-liquid), here’s some useful tips on how to vape. •For your first time inhaling vapor, it’s a lot different to your lungs and it doesn’t recognize it. Your lungs are used to tobacco smoke, which is completely different than vapor. With a traditional cigarette, you pull hard to get smoke, but with vaping – you’ll pull slow and steady. Remember, liquid is inside your atomizer/cartomizer, so you don’t want to pull hard enough to suck that liquid into your mouth. •When you inhale vapor, the longer you hold it in your mouth, the less vapor you’ll blow out. •Remember, this is about you… so find your own style of vaping and what feels most comfortable to you.

What You Need for vaping?

•A battery (if using a modified type device, you may need a tube and battery)

Usually vendors offer starter kits that come with everything you need to start vaping. Some offer e-liquid with the kit and for those who don’t just order you a bottle of e-liquid that interests you.

The Setbacks of the VAPE

The only setbacks to just starting to vape is having to learn about e-cigarettes. Although that isn’t much of a setback, it can be a little confusing to some at times. The other setback is finding the right e-liquid for you. When you first start ordering e-liquid, try to find sample packs. Many vendors will offer a sample pack of small bottles in assorted flavors for you to try. Finding the right e-liquid can be a hassle sometimes and can make you feel like there’s a hole in your pocket, but once you find the right flavor, it’ll be a breeze from then on.

Never settle for a bad tasting e-liquid. We have many vendors that have tons of different flavors that will suit your taste buds. China made e-liquid is much cheaper than the rest, but many avoid it because the flavors aren’t that great, and it’s built an ugly track record. USA made e-liquid has a much more of a quality taste in flavor and feel.

What To Expect of the VAPE?

When you first make the switch from tobacco cigarettes to electronic cigarettes, you’ll notice some changes that are good. Some vapers have said that they could breathe better, get less winded, no more terrible coughs and another that I’ve heard from many – notice an improved better immune system. However, there are some things to expect that come with removing yourself from the 4,000 chemicals in tobacco cigarettes. Here are a few of those that we’ve heard of or experienced. (This doesn’t necessarily mean that this will happen to you.)

Headaches

Cold Sweats

Coughing

Chest Pains

If these issues continue, I advise you to consult with your local physician and please contact GuideToVaping so that we can come up with a solution for you.

What Does Vapor Feel Like?

You may have heard from the media that vaping is the same thing as smoking. However, it’s very much different. In fact, everything from the taste, the cleaner feeling quality of vapor, the feel of thickness, to the larger exhaled volume; vapor is far superior than harmful tobacco smoke in every which way.

But for someone who has never vaped, what does vapor feel like? – Being that Vegetable Glycerin, an ingredient in e-liquid, has the ability to capture moisture molecules from the air, when you blow vapor onto your skin it’s typically room temperature or a bit cooler. In your mouth vapor has a much thinner feeling compared to tobacco smoke. Vapor also doesn’t have a chemical infused taste as tobacco cigarettes – assuming you’re a smoker, you probably won’t smell or taste the chemical infused smoke because your body has become used to it. However, once you finally quit or switch to electronic cigarettes, the smell and taste is horrendous.

In addition, when you’re no longer a smoker, your senses will begin to heal from the many years of abuse. Your sense of smell will be really strong, so expect to be disgusted when you smell someone smoking a cigarette anywhere near you.

Personal Experience: I walked outside of Wal-Mart one day and smelt smoke but didn’t see anyone smoking. Once I started walking towards my car, I noticed a man smoking outside of his car. The wind blew the smoke directly into my direction as I exited Wal-Mart and I was amazed that the smoke traveling that far was still so strong.

Vapor has a wet feeling texture. Again assuming you’re a smoker, once you switch to e-cigarettes, you may cough at first from the inhale of the vapor. This reason for this is, you’re not used to inhaling the wet feeling vapor and your body acts natural by using a gag/coughing reflex. Your airways are used to tobacco smoke and if you can remember back far enough, your body acted the same way when you were new to smoking a cigarette.
